Welcome to my website.

• Are you a parent whose adolescent child, who used to be so good, has become unmanageable and everything you've tried hasn't helped?
• Do you know or suspect that your teen is being bullied and have been unable to stop it?
• Are you a step-parent whose step-child continues to disrespect you despite your best efforts to be fair and loving?
• Are you a couple whose relationship has been going downhill for a long time but aren't ready to give up?
• Do anxieties, fears and phobias prevent you from enjoying your life?
• Are you so depressed that getting out of bed in the morning is a major chore?

...then seeking counseling with a professional makes a lot of sense.

When dealing with serious life issues you can, believe it or not, learn to "enjoy the process." This means the process of living as well as the process of counseling...feeling good about the changes you are making in your life. In addition to more traditional forms of therapy I do not hesitate to use humor to make a point. It has long been known that laughter is one of the best natural healers. And for those who love dogs I offer my form of "pet therapy." Any of my dogs would be happy to join us for all or part of a session to help you relax.

The information offered in these links is meant to provide guidelines rather than solutions to specific life problems. Sometimes all that is necessary to reduce stress or to work through a problem is to think about it in a different way...and this is what I hope to accomplish.

Of course, not everything can be resolved by reading alone, or something you read may make you decide that you would like to speak to a counselor. I have been located in Sussex County for over 25 years. If you would like to contact me directly you can use the link to the left or call my office at any time. I would be happy to provide you with a telephone consultation at no charge.

Needless to say, you are more than welcome to schedule an office visit. Please click on the directions link to see if my office is close enough for you to make the trip. For those who are confined to their home, I can schedule home visits. If you do not live close by and are having difficulty knowing how to find an appropriate counselor, I would be happy to help.

Once again... welcome!
